Shows that without a will, state laws dictate asset division—often overlooking sentimental values—and explains how clear directives prevent disputes and honor your intended legacy.

Recaps the importance of planning now, encourages reflection on what matters most, and urges starting conversations and research to take control of your future legacy.
